This photo was depicted in The Sunday Oregonian, December 03, 1916, SECTION FIVE, Image 66 with the caption: "Ruth Law arrived in New York recently after a flight from Chicago. Her first day's uninterrupted flight was to Hornell, 590 miles, which beat the record of Carlstrom on his first day out of Chicago. It also beat the long-distance cross-country record for this country and the woman's long-distance record for the world. After spending the night at Binghamton, she flew to New York, landing at Governor's Island. She might have made the whole distance in a day without stops if she had a bigger gas tank."
